Versus

 

Bronson Arroyo (14-10, 4.84 ERA, 59 BB/143 SO)

 

Sorry guys, don't have much time to do a good IGT today. Where is woogie, btw? I thought he would be back by now.

With interest in this club sliding, and the Packers playing well on Monday (i didnt watch a second of the Reds debacle #1)... the Brewers need to win now/today. Yes, I am calling it a MUST WIN! If they don't win today, management can put the order in for the same surrender towels they gave us last year. Lineups:

 

Brewers

2B Ray Durham

SS J.J. Hardy

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

RF Gabe Kapler

CF Mike Cameron

3B Craig Counsell

C Jason Kendall

LHP CC Sabathia

 

Reds

CF Jerry Hairston

SS Jeff Keppinger

1B Joey Votto

3B Edwin Encarnacion

RF Jolbert Cabrera

2B Andy Phillips

LF Wilkin Castillo

C Ryan Hanigan

RHP Bronson Arroyo

 

Ned Yost and his lineup template can suck it. I can't wait until that moron is no longer in the Brewer dugout.

Can't say there is anything wrong with the lineup with those players. Do you want Counsell leading off? Cameron in the 5 hole?

I want Prince batting 9th, Kendall batting cleanup, and CC leading off.

[cruiserx43]

Dear Brewers, stop tanking!! Is it sad that a little part of me wants the Brewers to miss the playoffs just so Ned is gone? The only thing that scares me is that he may just take Melvin with him.

[Invader3K]

I want Prince batting 9th, Kendall batting cleanup, and CC leading off.

Is there such a thing an the "element of surprise" in a batting order? That would certainly have it.

 

I'm all for taking Prince out of the clean up spot, though, seriously.

[BrewerTerp]

Seriously though, move Prince down in the lineup. Most managers change up the heart of the lineup when hitters are struggling. Our manger is special. Very special.

[DougJones43]

Kendall is seriously starting a day game following a 4.5 hour night game? Seriously?

 

He's 34 and it's September. Get a clue, moron.

[bucks2281]

The bottom third of our lineup is a black hole of suck.

 

Please stop the bleeding.

[wisconsinfan47]

It's probably just the poor play of the team and the (completely warranted) negative attitude of these boards, but I have a terrible feeling CC gets his first lost today.

 

He's amazing, but I am imagining 5.2 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 4K, 3BB.

 

Please don't suck, Brewers.

[hawing]

Brewers, just turn the switch back to this position:

Please? We could use a break from panic mode.

[YostInfection]

Not like this is some great revelation or whatever, but everyone take a moment once again and look at the Reds starting lineup today. It absolutely astounds me that I am "nervous" about today's game with CC friekin Sabathia going against the who's who of the Cape Cod league.

 

Has my trust in this team fallen this far?

 

I feel like I am in a bad nightmare and the only thing that can wake me up is a win by the Hefty Lefty.

 

Let's Go Crew.

[sausage racer]

The bottom third of our lineup is a black hole of suck.

 

Please stop the bleeding.

and thats always the part of the lineup thats coming up after someone in the pen blows the lead late.

 

LETS GET IT GOING EARLY TODAY CREW!!!

[sheethead]

Dear Brewers, stop tanking!! Is it sad that a little part of me wants the Brewers to miss the playoffs just so Ned is gone? The only thing that scares me is that he may just take Melvin with him.

 

While it would sadden me, Melvin kind of has it coming since he stuck with the managing monkey heading into this season.

[BrewerTerp]

hahaha nice scouting report: NEED A WIN

Well it sucks, but right now it feels like we are going to lose every game even if our pitching only gives up 2-3 runs.

[BrewerTerp]

CC looks sharp. GIVE HIM RUNS PLZ

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Good inning for C.C. even though it took him 18 pitches.

I Googled Imaged Runs and this was the third picture. Somehow seems appropriate.

[tristarscoop]

Ueck just said we claimed former Red Todd Coffey off waivers and DFA's Nix

[afeter]

craiger at 3b again. it just makes me sad

[tristarscoop]

First 2 innings today: 35 or so minutes.

 

Last night: 2 hours!

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Well, good to see the offense is right back where they left off.

[BrewerTerp]

How do you not throw strikes to Craig Counsell? Seriously, just throw right down the middle. What's the worst that could happen?

[dabrew141]

i like CC
